Inspired by the simplicity of the run, the PureProject Jacket's technical and tailored look is ready to embrace the journey, wherever it takes you. Reflective fibers woven into the outer shell turn this great-looking jacket into a high-visibility jacket at night.

I lusted after this jacket for a long time before taking the plunge. I am a huge fan of Brooks apparel and this jacket is no exception. The material it is made from is almost shiney, like a fancy suit might be. It has a rich looking sheen to it, which makes it look very nice for casual wear with jeans or khakis. And yet the usefulness of the jacket is where it really shines! The reflective threading makes the jacket look almost pinstriped when the light is reflected off it at night.I purchased the dark color(grey) and it has purple accents. A good shade of purple, dark like a grape. The color combo really works well together. It has smartly placed pockets, one on chest and 2 sideseam hand pockets. My other Brooks jackets and coats have 1 waterproof pocket, my only disappointment in this jacket was that it does not have such a waterproof pocket. While this jacket isnt meant to be worn in a full fledged thunderstorm, sometimes nature has other plans during a run and the lack of a pocket baffles me. Easily included and yet missing.... The zips are well placed. The hood is substantial and well cut with internal cord to adjust it for a perfect fit. The cuffs have spandex gaiters(not fold over mits!)The rear is cut low to provide nice hiney coverage.
